Testimonials
Your music group with our service users especially the younger ones has proved to be very popular. They enjoy it hugely and improves their confidence and self-esteem. For some it is the highlight of the week. It helps in keeping their mood up and it seems to have an excellent antidepressant effect. Please consider this as a letter of support for your excellent project. Consultant psychiatrist, Swindon
